A different petition in support of the GCC...

MOVING TO FRONT FROM SEPT. 26--see FINAL UPDATE

...courtesy of Jenny Saul (Sheffield) and colleagues involved with the GCC. This seems to me not to involve the problematic features of the other petition, to clearly present the core objectives of the GCC, and thus to warrant a strong showing of support from the philosophical community. I encourage all philosophy readers to sign. (Please note that to sign, you will have to hit the "sign now" key two times--the first time will take you to a page with your signatory information that you've just entered, and then you hit "sign now" again to confirm.)

ANOTHER (9/26): Another hundred signatures over the last seven hours, including Stephen Yablo, Juliet Floyd, John Dupre, Huw Price, Elisabeth Camp, Ned Hall, Aldo Antonelli, and many others!

A FINAL UPDATE (10/2): Almost 900 now, but the goal is a thousand, so please help us get there by adding your name. Since the last update Crispin Wright, Hannah Ginsborg, Robert Batterman, Hartry Field, and Jenann Ismael, among other distinguished philosophers, signed. Please join them. And more importantly, make an affirmative effort to avoid organizing all-male conferences and edited volumes, and so contribute to gender equity in the profession.
